Kiddie Karnival Highlights North
Canton Playground Activities
Over 100 children attended the 'Kiddie, Karnival' held
at Witwer Park last week. All the groups from the various
other playgrounds hiked to Witwer Park where the carnival
was held.
The West End Playground presented a band with two
twirlers while Summit Street Play-
Hardest Task To Face
The tragedy in Korea has demonstrated a fact that many
of us, including highly-placed military men, had tended to
forget—that there can be two kinds of war.
Up to the time that North Korea sent her troops pouring
across the 38th parallel, we had been thinking in terms of the
"big" intercontinental war. This, if it came, was to be war on
an unprecedented scale and of an unprecedented type. It was
to be a war of amazing machines which would wreak death
and destruction on a huge scale and at vast distances. A
button-would be pushed, and an atom bomb or a guided missile would be on its way toward the target. It would be a
war of science and technology. Some thought it might be a
war in which a decision would be reached without any ground
action at all, and without opposing troops coming face to
face.
No one can say that these concepts are wrong—they
might hold true in that "big" war the world now fears. But
it is clear that they do not apply in Korea.
In Korea we have a war in which the traditional, relatively simple weapons are all-iimportant. The man with a
gun in his hand must do tlte fighting. It is the most difficult
and dismal sort of war imaginable. Great troop movements
of the sort that took place in Europe in the last war are impossible. Everything is based upon the small unit—the battalion, the company, the platoon, even the squad. The importance of the individual soldier is supreme—if one man fails,
dis&ster to many may follow. In this, the war is comparable
to the jungle operations against the Japanese during the island-hopping period that preceded the Empire's surrender.
We are fighting an enemy whose habits and thoughts
are incomprehensible to the Western mind. The cruel fanaticism of the Orient finds its perfect reflection in the Korean
soldier. Human life is worthless, death but an incident. No
matter how many are killed, more come on. North Korean
casualties have been infinitely greater than ours. But the offensives have been pushed -in spite of them.
The Koreans have proven themselves extraordinarily
adept at infiltration, and at guerrila activity. This, in the first
weeks, was one of the worst problems faced by the Americans. The enemy seemed to be everywhere, and foe and friend
looked alike. The Korean soldier accepts the greatest of hardships with apparent equinamity—lie has known little but
privation all his life. He can sleep anywhere. A handful of the
coarsest food sustains him. Supply, as we know it in the American army, is unknown to liim.
Worst of all, it is clear, we had not planned for this war.
Our eyes were elsewhere—on Formosa, Iran, Europe—even
as our minds were considering the other kind of war. And so,,
in every way, we were completely surprised.
The lesson we have learned is a grim one. We must be
prepared for any kind of war—and for war almost anywhere.
We have never faced a harder task.
Housewives Make Prices
■ -. Prices are rising and the possibility of controls is being
discussed. Again the importance of maintaining the free market except in the direst of war emergencies is widely ignored.
The moment that controls are substituted for the free market
scarcity becomes inevitable, and most important, the political
and economic system which makes representative government possible in this country, begins to melt away before the
fire'of official "directives."
.For example, meat prices, along with everything else,
have been headed upward. But if supply and demand are allowed to. function within the free market the situation will
correct itself. In the words of L. H. Simerl of the Department
of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois: "Consumers themselves must accept the responsibility for meat prices.
Farmers have cattle and hogs, and they must sell them. Likewise the packer must keep pushing the meat out of his coolers: Retailers, too, must sell practically every pound they buy,
or losses will drive them out of business. The housewives at
the meat counters get the meat at their own price. Of course,
not every individual housewife makes her own price, but
their combined actions certainly do tnake the prices . . . Just
as they have lifted prices to these high levels, they can let
them drop . . . they have done it before.
Another Little Test in Berlin
To these folks in our country and elsewhere who keep
talking about the beauty of life under the Red Star, a new
and very interesting answer comes from Berlin. West Berlin,
tied by its planning and its ideology to the Western World,
has just released a report that during the past eighteen
months, between 85,000 and 90,000 people have fled out of
the Soviet Zone of Eastern Germany and Berlin to the Western areas for the purpose of registering as refugees.
The big parade of young Communists who were assembled to stage a long march down the streets a few weeks ago
was rounded up by skillful propagandists. They were apparently unable to stop the more important big parade of men
and women fleeing from the "bounty" of life under the Soviets to a freer living. Thirty-eight of the Eastern German
police assigned to the big March a few weeks back have actually fled to West Berlin with 380 of the "Free German
Youth" who did the marching.
What is the answer of the Big Red Master-minds in the
Kremlin to this little test of life under the hammer and
sickle? ...

Another Little Test in Berlin
To these folks in our country and elsewhere who keep
talking about the beauty of life under the Red Star, a new
and very interesting answer comes from Berlin. West Berlin,
tied by its planning and its ideology to the Western World,
has just released a report that during the past eighteen
months, between 85,000 and 90,000 people have fled out of
the Soviet Zone of Eastern Germany and Berlin to the Western areas for the purpose of registering as refugees.

was rounded up by skillful propagandists. They were apparently unable to stop the more important big parade of men
